Who we are

Our website address is http://brentcabs.co.uk.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the information displayed in the comments form, along with the visitor's IP address and browser user agent string to aid in spam detection.

An anonymized string generated from your email address (commonly referred to as a hash) may be shared with the Gravatar service to verify its usage. The Gravatar service's privacy policy can be found here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Following approval of your comment, your profile picture becomes visible to the public within the context of your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, please be mindful not to include images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images present on the site.

Cookies

When you leave a comment on our site, you have the option to opt-in to store your name, email address, and website information in cookies. These cookies are designed for your convenience, eliminating the need to re-enter your details when you decide to leave another comment. These cookies remain valid for one year.

On visiting our login page, a temporary cookie is set to ascertain your browser's acceptance of cookies. This particular cookie does not contain any personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

Upon logging in, we establish several cookies to preserve your login credentials and screen display preferences. Login cookies are active for two days, and screen options cookies remain in effect for a year. Selecting "Remember Me" extends your login session to two weeks. Logging out of your account results in the removal of login cookies.

Should you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie does not contain personal data and merely indicates the post ID of the edited article. It expires after 1 day.

Embedded content from other websites

Our articles may include embedded content, such as videos, images, and articles, which function in the same manner as if you were visiting the originating website.

These external websites might collect data about you, employ cookies, embed additional third-party tracking mechanisms, and monitor your interactions with the embedded content, including tracking your actions if you have an account and are logged into the respective external website.

Who do we share your data with

In the event of a password reset request, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

How long we retain your data

When you leave a comment, both the comment and its associated metadata are preserved indefinitely. This is done to facilitate the automated recognition and approval of any subsequent comments, rather than holding them in a moderation queue.

For users who register on our website (if any), we securely store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users have the capability to access, edit, or delete their personal information at any time, except for the username, which cannot be altered. Additionally, website administrators have the authority to access and modify this information.

What rights do you have over your data

If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you possess the right to request an exported file containing the personal data we have in our possession, including any data you have furnished. Furthermore, you can request the erasure of any personal data we maintain about you. Please note that this request does not encompass data that we are obligated to retain for administrative, legal, or security reasons.

Where your data is sent

Visitor comments may undergo scrutiny via an automated spam detection service.
